An anonymous official told Iran International on May 30, 2026, that Iran's Prime Minister had written a resignation letter to Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The letter reportedly criticized the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) for effectively taking over key state functions.
However, as of May 31, 2026, no official confirmation has been issued by the Iranian government or state media. The report, based on a single anonymous source, has not been corroborated by other outlets. Mojtaba Khamenei is widely seen as a potential successor to his father but holds no official government position.
Iran International is a London-based news outlet critical of the Iranian government. Its reporting often relies on sources within the opposition or exiled communities. The veracity of this claim remains uncertain pending further evidence.
